Amateur and professional photographers are being called on to get their cameras and smartphones ready, as One Agency Surf Coast’s annual photo competition is back.

For a fourth year running, One Agency is inviting photography lovers to submit their favourite scenic shots from postcode 3228 to be featured in their 2023 calendar.

Shaun O’Callaghan, One Agency Surf Coast Director, said you don’t need to be a ‘pro’ or own a swanky camera to be a winner.

“Each year we’re blown away by the quality of the images we receive, many of which are shot on the humble iPhone,” he said.

“Not only does the calendar highlight and celebrate the beauty of where we live, but it also showcases the talented photographers in our community, both established and emerging.”

Renowned local photographer Ed Sloane will judge the competition again this year, selecting the 13 winning shots that form the high-quality calendar.

For the first time, One Agency is offering a sneak peek of the winning calendar photos before they go to print and giving the public the chance to vote for their favourite.

The winner of the ‘crowd favourite’ award will receive a dinner for two at popular local restaurant, The Kyn.

As a bonus, anyone who votes will also go into a draw to win a prize.

To enter, email low-resolution versions of your photo(s) along with the photo location(s), your name, email and phone number to torquay@oneagency.com.au by Monday 26 September.
